Hey everyone, I’m Frank, and I’m so glad you’re here. This community is all about sharing the hunt, the stories, and the passion for diecast collecting. A little about me: My favorite Hot Wheels as a kid were the Crack-Ups. I used to get them as gifts, and I can still remember smashing them around, watching the panels flip, and thinking they were the coolest cars ever made. Collecting started as something fun from childhood, but last summer I dove back in seriously. Since then, I have been hunting down pieces, building my collection, and connecting with other collectors, and I haven’t looked back. That thrill never really goes away, whether it is finding a treasure in a store, bidding at an auction, or trading with a friend. Starting this club is my way of bringing collectors together who get that same excitement. To kick things off, let’s get to know each other a little bit. Answer these 3 quick questions in the comments: 1. 🚪 Do you open your cars or keep them sealed? 2. 🏎️ What’s your favorite brand, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, or something else? 3. 🛒 Where do you usually find your cars, in stores, at shows, online (Whatnot, eBay), etc? 📸 Bonus: Post a photo/video of your current favorite piece in your collection. 🎥 And if you would like, share a short intro about yourself too. How long you've been collecting or what got you into it. This will help us all connect even faster. Can’t wait to see your answers and start building this club together. - Frank P.S. My answers... 1.
